Nathan George gets the second half started

At half time it must be said that the scoreboard is a fair reflection of the play in the first half. The home side have been dominant in every aspect of the play and show no signs off letting up. Manawatu will look to make the score a bit more respectable in the second half but the game is well over as a contest at this stage

Ryan Crotty powers over with a strong carry at the end of a rehearsed mov off the first phase. Adds the conversion to make it 39-7 at half time

Manawatu charge the ball down and Chris Eve picks it up and sprints in showing great speed.
